    I always enjoyed discussing gardening with George when he and Grace visited John, Joan, Caitlin, Meghan, and JT in Downers Grove. I think of him every time I see the morning glories blooming from seed he sent me years ago. My condolences to all the Landry family – I know how much George will be missed. Terri Adams and family

    Dear Grace, When I opened the paper and saw George’s photo, I smiled because he was always smiling. We had fun those many years ago and I have told the story of the children stuck in the elevator in N.J. 100+ times. I am glad you have family close by, I know you have happy memories to comfort you. God Bless, Jean Laskey
